I'm Going To Do To Your Face What Limp Bizkit Did To Music In The Late 90's

I'm not a fan of Deadpool the comic character, that being due to my ignorance of his existence rather than actually reading his stories. But when I saw this movie was going to be rated R, and that it would be taking liberal use of the language license those movies grant, I got pretty excited.  

The superhero formula has gotten old, and finally there was going to be a movie, that could help revitalize a fun film genre that has been showing signs of stagnation due to repetitive plot formulas and over-exposure to the masses ... so maybe my expectations were a little high, but that's what I was hoping for walking into the theater.

When The Sky Fell

A few months ago I saw the midnight opening of Skyfall in IMAX. I’ve been a Bond fan since I was a kid. I read many of the books and watched most of the films. My main problem with the franchise was how it was steadily devolving into blockbuster action flicks. The films seemed to loose touch with what made Bond interesting. Die Another Day, the last time Pierce Brosnan filled Bond’s shoes, could very well have sank the series. It was so incredibly cheesy that sometimes it felt like a direct slap to the balls to Bond fans worldwide.
